2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board

@AFZ06 Yea if that is the case then the names are out and I can start engaging to get answers. The biggest thing is seeing if notifications are starting to happen so I can start making calls.

In the past, these things don't drop until 1200 CST... just so no one is holding their breath and panicking for the next 2 hours

Don’t worry I’ve only been panicking the entire weekend.

I just emailed Chris and he said the CC release got pushed until wednesday

Sweet I’m flying Wednesday... so I guess Thursday for me. 

[AW91]

....not surprised. 😐

See? That's why I totally wasn't nervous this weekend or dreamed of not getting my first pick last night. Nope, none of that from me, because I totally wasn't anxious about the results coming out today.

And Tuesday I'm sure I will also be stoic and composed the whole way through.

I’ll admit I’ve been sweating the results. I know how my scores stack up to previous averages but I have no clue what is going to happen this year with there being a potential fewer slots.

[AW91]

I'm just urging to see how Wednesday becomes Monday next week, and becomes March, and becomes 2022.

[Weav]

@takingamessage glad to see we're all being relaxed and professional about this.  While refreshing the portal and the forum on the minute and getting no work done at all this AM.

I'll be completely honest, I'm sweating mostly because I didn't do my best work. Fact is, my PCSM is coming in below average compared to last year for Pilot, but above average for the rest of the positions - but I wouldn't rate my odds of accepting another position high.

I'm in this not entirely unique but uncommon position of having been a UPT med-dq re-applying to go back. Of course, that's captured in my form, personal letter, LOR etc which I would say overall are pretty solid. But for some reason, I let myself be convinced that for that reason I didn't need to re-do my TBAS or AFOQT since 1) they were good enough the first time and 2) I was afraid of taking them and getting a lower score. 

Now I'm beginning to think I probably counted too much on my prior-UPT experience and whole package, and probably should have put more emphasis on the score itself. Of course it's too late now, but I'm hoping this doesn't become that thing I always look back to as an example on why it doesn't pay to become complacent.

Not that anyone asked... just venting to get those nerves out! 

 

Edit: on rereading this I'd like to emphasize this ain't a pity party. Just recognizing that I'm sure lots of us are having last minute "what if" thoughts. I will emphasize that any failure is mine and mine alone, of course. And any failure is a growth opportunity and all that good jazz.

If AFPC only understood that the sooner we find out, the sooner we can continue to be productive at work 😂 

@takingamessage I 100% relate to your message. I’m sure we’re all on the same boat thinking how we could’ve made our apps more competitive. 

[Yodes]

Another piece of intel I was able to get from AFPC. Typically, the board receives about 300 applicants per year, this year they received 250.

[URTHopeful2021]

LOL the rated page still isn't updated.. It sucks waking up across the pond trying to figure out what happened. Deep breaths everyone. Good stuff about the slots!

Capt--

I’m just waiting on final approval to release the PSDM.  I’ll release it as soon as I get the approval…hopefully by tomorrow.

Cheers,
Chris

“Hopefully” I’m just going to email him and ask him if I have a reason to be excited or not. 😂

This still leaves a big out for them to not release tomorrow.  I'll feel a lot better about release date once something is put on the Rated AF Portal page.  Here's to hoping we find out tomorrow and being prepared for another delay.

[AW91]

I have .000069% hope that it'll be released tomorrow.

Nice 

[URTHopeful2021]

Each minute the rated page isn't updated makes me think this is all a dream and the results will post in 2022. Anyways--who wants to be the scapegoat and call 😉 

[URT21Select]

Every time someone calls they delay the release a day 😅

$10 says we hear nothing tomorrow (pure speculation). You heard it here first

[robby8388]

On the bright side it shouldn’t be much longer until the 22 UFT Board PSDM is released.  If I’m not picked up this cycle it won’t be a long wait to reapply again as long as they get back to summer boards again
